The moment is beautifully captured in the photograph that has gone viral on the Internet. “Proud father getting salute from the proud daughter,” ITBP described the image. It identified the young woman as Apeksha Nimbadia, who graduated from Dr BR Ambedkar Police Academy in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. Her father, APS Nimbadia, is a Deputy Inspector General in the ITBP. The photo was captured right after Ms Nimbadia participated in a passing out parade.
After graduating from college, Ms Nimbadia will join Uttar Pradesh police as a Deputy Superintendent of Police. Serving in the police force runs in the family - Mr Nimbadia is a “third-generation officer in uniform”. The Instagram account of ITBP, the country's main border patrol organisation for its border with Tibet, has shared two more photographs of Ms Nimbadia, one of which shows her with mother Bimlesh Nimbadia, who also attended the ceremony.
